1996 Jeep Cherokee Country: one owner..the fuse panel are inop..hood

Customer Question

1996 Jeep Cherokee Country 80K one owner - All of the items/asssessories on Cavity 9 in the fuse panel are inop. The fuse is good and has been replaced anyway. Only change was to replace the courtesy light under the hood. It had broken and I assumed this caused a short and blown the Cavity 9, 10Amp fuse...

Don't know what else to check. I've checked every fuse in the panel and they are all good.

Hello! Are you looking for a wiring diagram? What fuse does not have power to it?

AMEDEE :

Are you talking about fuse number 9 in the fuse panel?

Customer:

No, I'm not looking for a wiring diagram. As I stated, "All of the items/asssessories on Cavity 9 in the fuse panel are inop." In the parts manual, Jeep refers to the fuse by "cavity" in the panel. Cavity 9 is fuse 9.

AMEDEE :

Hello! So there is no power to fuse 9...correct?

Customer:

Again, there is no power in fuse 9 cavity. None of the items on the circuit are operational.

AMEDEE :

Sorry for the delay! What size engine do you have? I will get you a wiring diagram.

Customer:

4.2L - I have the wiring diagram...

AMEDEE :

They don't make a 4.2 liter engine in 1996

AMEDEE :

Check fuse 19 in the power distribution center. Fuse 9 gets its power from this fuse. Here is a wiring diagram.
